Re: Searching in the minibuffer

[Richard M. Stallman]

    In normal isearch operation (i.e. not in the minibuffer), typing C-s
    immediately moves point to the next occurrence of the search string
    and highlights it.

    Having a delay in the minibuffer between typing C-s and seeing the search
    string highlighted, or requiring to type another key to exit the delay,
    would be a nuisance.

I agree.  If we display the search prompt at the end, clearly that
should be done after highlighting the string that was
found, so that it imposes no delay on seeing the highlighting.
